no it doesn't. The regular geforce 3s don't support dual monitor setups Unless you turn them into Quadros.
You can do it through a software method but I've never done it so I'm not sure how it works. Supposedly you loose slight performance in games, but get Dual monitor support, AND improved Open GL performance.

The Geforce3 cards only have one Ramdac...
Radions have two...
you need one Ramdac for each new monitor.. very simple
